Preferred Search
Ratings
Note:
For our site launch in 2003, our rates for advertising are 50% less than
the prices quoted on this page. Please see our special
offers section for additional reductions in advertising rates.
In 2003, all revenue beyond site development and maintenance costs will
be directed to advertising for the coursesforteachers.com portal. This
will serve to increase international traffic to your site.
Our preferred search rating service causes your ad to be displayed higher
on the list than organizations with a standard (free) listing. (See "How
does this work?" below.)
During the initial phase of our operations the preferred rating service
can be purchased for $30 US per month.
Preferred search rating and advertising rates will increase as we reach
targeted traffic rates, and changes may be made without prior notice.
To secure the rates currently available in our introductory phase, you
may wish to prepay for a period of up to 24 months. Contact Tanapics
with your request for advertising space or a preferred search rating.
How Does This Work?
When teachers visiting
this site enter specific criteria for the search (including a number of
topics of interest) the request is compared to the information in our
database. Course providers that have courses meeting all of the search
criteria would have a relevance of 100% and be placed neart he top of
the search results, while those that meet fewer criteria would have lower
relevance ratings and be placed further down the list.
The Preferred Search Rating Feature adds an additional 100% to you relevance
rating (though your actual relevance continues to be displayed beside
your listing.) This means that if, for example, your service had a relevance
of 25%, the search engine would read your rating as 125%, and place it
ahead of all standard ads which can only have a maximum rating of 100%.
This ensures prominence for your listings above all standard ads and according
to your relevance rating in comparison with other providers who also purchase
the preferred search rating.
